Hamas: Recognition of Israel Not Out of the Question

The Washington Post reported last night (Saturday) that Taher al-Nunu, Media Advisor to Hamas Leader in GazaIsmail Haniya, said that the organization has not discounted the possibility to recognize Israel.

That being said, he reportedly indicated that such a proceeding must be discussed within the framework of the budding Hamas-Fatah unity government. He added that the agreement reached with Fatah encompasses issues relevant to the Palestinian Authority, not to external political issues.
